Right-click the tab bar and select "Use system titlebars" or whatever it's called (I have it in Romanian)

Not talking about the bookmarks toolbar, but rather a main menu bar that includes a file menu item with an "open" item.

I tried right clicking on the top tab and the bookmarks tabs, neither of which provide a "menu bar" toggle like other browsers do when right clicking to the right of the tab's + button.

Chromium never had a menu bar. You can just hope the devs will create a patch for a feature that never appeared in Chrome.

touba-denrael commented 7 months ago

the only function that is not reachable through the existing menu(s) might be the file opening one [ctrl+o].

the "missing" menu bar might be caused by the (supposed) design philosophy of the chromium user interface (do not sacrifice viewing space for things not strictly needed).

The file open is the main thing I use that menu for!

file open is the main thing

key combinations in different operating systems for opening files in applications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts

in chromium: [ctrl+o]

ThomasFreedman commented 7 months ago

Thank you, I didn't know that! Not as convenient as mouse only, especially b/c some keyboards don't have a right hand ctrl key, so requires 2 hands to do ^o.

But ^o is indeed a workaround!

every [nearly every?] operating system uses the ctrl+o key combination for opening files in every [nearly every?] application.

mentioned it in my reply from three days ago too.

you can use your file manager to select the file to be opened, then right click, select open with, choose the browser (this usually includes the possibility to "register" the operation for future use, for selecting the file then opening it with just a double cklick or an enter keystroke).
